Harmony Happening in the HIlls

Single Rose

Reserve the weekend of August 20-21, 2010 for another great weekend of harmony in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Clinician this year is Mike O'Neil, Music Specialist for the Barbershop Harmony Society. He is the specialist in Chorus Director Development. Mike is also known as the bass of the comedy quartet "Lunch Break" and is the director of the Nashville Music City Chorus.

Music chosen for this year's Harmony Happening is:
#7388 - Swing Down Chariot
# 8831 - Love Letters
#202223 - Drivin' Me Crazy
# 7340 - America the Beautiful w/Joe Liles Overlay (Free 'n' Easy)
#7641 - God Bless America
#1 - This Is My Country

This year will be a little different in that Friday evening will include a great time of fellowship, food and a somewhat serious quartet contest.

Those attending Friday evening's festivities are invited to find three other singers and enter the contest. They will even choose a name, rehearse once or twice, and sing one barbershop song (most likely a polecat or one of the festival songs).

Plan now to join in the fun. And keep coming back to this page as more information becomes available. Plans are underway for a great year with a great clinician that will add to your knowledge and fun in singing.

Headquarters hotel again this year is the Best Western Golden Spike Motel. You can make reservations by July 1, identifying yourself as a barbershopper. Room rates for the double-queen rooms are $93 per night plus tax, and $5 each for every guest over two. The suites are $149 per night plus tax. If rooms are available after July 1, you will still be able to get rooms at that rate, if they are available, by identifying yourself as a barbershopper. Make your plans early and make your reservations directly with the motel at 605-574-2577.

If you have any questions, please call Pete Anderson at 605-209-3701 or by Email.
